The lightning rod swindlers who offer to
put new rods in the place OF the old ones
for a very small sum of boot money, have
turned up again. Their mode of operation
Is to get the farmers signature 10 a con-
tract to pay the small difference between
the price of the new and the old rods. OF
course, when the festive agent is out OF
reach the contract turns up as Judgment
note for ten times the amount OF the origin
al agreement. The dodge is such an Old
one and has been exposed so often that any
farmer foolish enough to be taken IN by it
should be sent to an asylum for the feeble
minded.

a vessel in distress he had to collect

crews for three months in the winter at

The Horse Jockey.

The truth of the old adage, "Give a
dog bad name and you might as well
hang him Mt once" has never been bet
ter illustrated than in race. Several
years ago Nick Becker, now the owner
of Glen Fisher, Hottentot, Leland, and
others, was ruled off the track at Louis
vile for the pulling of his horse Mellow
ling in race over that track, and the
reputation that he then acquired has
since stuck to him "like a bruder."
There are even some people nowadays
mean enough to say that Nick isn't as
straight as Il string: but of course that's
a mistake, and his horses run in and
out for the reason that you can't always
get the same sort of oats to feed them
with. This spring, as Col. NJ. Lewis
Clark was entertaining party of turf
reporters in the cosy little club house
at Louisville, he told the following
story on Nick in connection with The
McBowling affair. After explaining
how McBowling was pulled, he said.
81 called Nick into the stand ard the
first question that asked him was:
"'Now, Nick, tell me the truth, how

"The last question was almost too
much for me, said the Colonel, land |
nearly laughed ont in his face"
